Right Pundits

Since the election campaign of 2008, the Democrats have waged an internecine war within itself. If you recall then, Hillary Clinton quickly mustered the support of virtually all of the powerful interest groups within its sphere. Gay, pro-choice, pro-Israel, organized labor, and African-American organizations all quickly gathered to her side, assuming (as she did) that she would win the nomination by acclamation.

Following the fiscal cliff debacle, we heard Republican politicians recite the claim that they would, first, demand federal budget cuts and, second, demand that President Obama provide specific cuts in that federal budget for our next federal ‘crisis’, the debt limit extension. There are only two problems with that. Obama will never provide specific cuts now; the opportunity for that ended this week. As well, nobody who has examined Republican politicians this century can reasonably argue that they actually believe in spending cuts, other than cutting Big Bird. That’s fine, I guess. But, assuming that someone, anyone, in the GOP wants to win a quadrennial election in the near future, they must present a reasonable alternative to the Democrats.

Retired Army General H. (Herbert) Norman Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, Florida at the age of 78 yesterday from complications of pneumonia. Stormin′ Norman will be best known as the head of US Central Command, responsible for the Persian Gulf and Middle East, which led the way for Operation Desert Storm. Following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in the late summer of 1990, Schwarzkopf first orchestrated Operation Desert Shield, flooding Saudi Arabia with troops to prevent Saddam Hussein from pushing further south in the Arabian Peninsula. The West Point graduate then began a build-up of even more troops and support for Desert Storm, which brought victory for the Coalition Forces in booting the Iraqis from Kuwait in what we now call Gulf War I.

Apparently, President Obama has decided this term that he will allow individuals’ names to be floated for cabinet positions; then, when opposition to their candidacy arises, the potential nominee will be able to slink away without Obama facing the ignominy of having a nominee rejected. That was his modus operandi for Susan Rice. Now, the same dance is playing out for former Senator Chuck Hagel.

The events that have taken place in Newtown, Connecticut in recent weeks are some of the most tragic we have seen in years. There is now a constant, politicized debate about how the Government should react to this horrific event, of which has taken precedent over other pressing issues, including the Fiscal Cliff. The left has always been pushing for tighter gun regulation, but now they have taken it a step further, and are nearly demanding it. Some members of the right have stated that they would support tighter restrictions on certain weapons.

But this makes me think of the obvious; Why don’t we examine the historical and present day experiments regarding gun laws? There have been dozens of important lessons we can learn from regarding how to prevent violence like the violence demonstrated in Newtown. My favorite example is in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Only a few days after a devastating school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the Westboro Baptist Church has planned to protest at the funerals of these innocent children. The Westboro Baptist Church, the same group who protests at military funerals, with signs that say, “Thank God for IED’s,” will be actively protesting the funerals of 20 children and 6 adults, saying that it is God’s punishment for America’s support of Gay Rights.

Here is an interview on Fox News describing the Westboro Baptist Church:

This week, Susan Rice has been meeting with a number of Republican senators to try to explain why she gave deceptive answers on a series of talking head shows after the Benghazi murders. This is widely assumed to anticipate Rice’s nomination to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Well, these private get-togethers are probably not going as well as Rice might have hoped. After each of them, the GOP senator has a press conference where he or she explains why they are disturbed or disgusted with Rice. The interesting thing to me is that none of them seem to fault the individuals who are actually more directly to blame for the Benghazi fiasco, David Petraeus, who was head of the CIA or Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State.
